I am going through a very large pile of wheat cents looking for anomalies. I'm finding a few that have lamination issues. Are these worth keeping? How much does condition count - some of these are VF or lower grades?

Thanks for any insights!

If they're big size, they're definitely worth keeping. As far as condition goes, value depends.

I keep all but the smallest laminations in 2x2's, personally, but they don't start gaining value until there is a large structural anomaly present.

Keep 'em and post some examples here!

I hang onto all wheat laminations I come across, save for very minor, barely perceptible examples. As noted, extreme examples are the most collectable.
